Watch in 3D on Disney+

In 3D on Apple Vision Pro, where this opens in the Disney+ app. The same link plays the film in 2D on every other device.

Not found on Apple's United Kingdom store. Apple gives a film a different identifier in each country, and the American one does not resolve there; a search of the British store on returned no listing that matches this film either. Two checks that found nothing, rather than proof Apple sells nothing — any digital edition above is the American one.1

How the 3D was made

The thinnest part of the record

How a film reached the screen in stereo is the part of this record that matters most, and it is the part that is thinnest. What is missing keeps its row rather than being dropped, so you can see where the record stops.

The king has returned.

Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
